Kind of like uncertainty soccer: |

You know where the ball is, but you cannot really gauge the speed, or you don't know exactly where it is depending on if the strobe is on or off. |

so its a field full of players all running hell for leather at the same bright flashing light. Is the spiral guy a dentist who is trying to drum up a little more business? |

Could be fun, and probably not as dangerous as [tdb] thinks, but you'd better supply the ref and linesmen with night goggles. |

I thought strobes brought on epileptic fits not dental decay. |

Last Tuesday evening my kids played a soccer game to make up one that got rained out. It got a bit dark towards the end of the game as there were no lights on that field.
The number of collisions and spills was dramatically higher than normal. I am thinking it might be similar with a strobe. |

If the player's uniforms contained lights to show the outlines of the players, and if the strobing ball could be constructed to have acceptable physical characteristics, I would think this could be an interesting game whose character would depend a lot upon the blink rate of the ball. Even a moderately fast blink rate (e.g. 6Hz) which would not interfere with a bystander's perception of continuous motion could make things interesting for moving players (persistence of vision can play some interesting tricks). |
